供應鏈指數應用於台灣半導體產業之研究

Abstract

產品原料的投入生產與流通，過程中涉及了原料供應商、生產商、配銷商、零售商，最後將產品交到客戶手上，整個上下游串連所形成的網絡結構我們稱之為「供應鏈」。隨著經濟的發展、通訊技術的進步與交通的便利，全球競爭加劇，公司所要面對的不在只是區域內的競爭。在全球競爭的壓力下，供應鏈管理是每家公司的必修課題。然而，隨著商業模式的複雜化，許多企業仍未將供應鏈視為一個複雜的系統，例如專注於提高公司的毛利率，卻忽略了庫存管理的重要性，導致庫存週轉率下降、提高公司營收長長率的同時，卻使應收帳款週轉率下降等等，諸如此類的問題層出不窮，在管理上經常顧此失彼，為了解決供應鏈失衡的問題，Cecere提出了供應鏈指數與軌跡圖等方法，協助管理者衡量企業的經營狀況，然而，過去所定義的供應鏈指數仍存在問題，無法正確反映供應鏈改善的能力，此外，過去研究對象多為<財富>雜誌中評比的全球500大企業，未針對台灣產業做分析，與台灣產業發展並無直接相關。因此，在本次研究中，將會針對Cecere的供應鏈指數提出修正，並將其應用於台灣半導體產業，使台灣投資者了解這套方法的使用方式，並利用此套方法進行產業分析，找出具有成長潛力之產業或企業，也希望公司決策者能利用此套方法，確認所管理的企業經營策略是否正確。

From inputing raw materials into manufacturing to distributing them to customers, the procedure involves raw material suppliers, manufacturers, distributers, retailers and customers. We call the whole network connected from upstream to downstream supply chain. With the development of economiy and the progress of both transportation and communication techniques, competition among national companies intensifies rapidly. Under the stress of global competition, how to manage the supply chain well has been an required course for each company. However, while the supply chain became more and more complex, many companies still didn’t well recognized this fact and still used the traditional way to manage the supply chain, leading to the imbalance of supply chain. To resolve this problem, Cecere proposed the supply chain index and orbit charts to help managers analyze the development of their companies. In this research, I modify the supply chain index defined by Cecere to make it evalue the performance of supply chain management more precisely and apply this modified version and orbit charts proposed by Cecere to semiconductor industry in Taiwan. I hope this research could provide managers in Taiwan a new way to analyze the performance of their companies, helping them to manage their companies better.
